Pros

They are flexible for time off

Cons

After the merge with microsoft they have under cut the small employees and put pressure on the managers to micro manage the employees. We the small employees have had our time off cut, they took away volunteer time, we have not had a raise, they have taken away our incentive plan, they have taken away our ability to work outside of our home when we need to, they took teams messenger ability's away from our phone. If we are 1 minute late for work they can dock us. We are scheduled for 40 hours but have been told to make sure our time sheets are below 40 hours. There have been no advancement opportunities. I inquired about the program they have for reimbursement for certificates outside of work hours and i was told we arent eligible..

Pros

It was a much needed check in a time of need

Cons

Management seemed uneducated. I dnt know about cognizant as a whole but their eligibility department needs help. They focus on the things that do no matter. They were at risk of losing this contract, so now it’s whatever they client says, they do…no push back including making us do disability cases, that we had no previous knowledge of. In the beginning I was getting OT like crazy. Then they stopped it talking about it wasn’t in there budget, and at times when we needed someone to work/stay late. They are not consistent and the other employees there, are looking for other positions, too. Not to mention, myself and another employee were the only ones there for the longest. It’s a mess.
